Prophet Bob Jones: "There
seemed to be an emphasis on the book of Acts this year depicting the anointed
acts of the Lord’s church maturing, to prepare us for the things shortly to be
released from heaven’s resources the true anointing that should rightfully be
embraced by the Lord’s people. The Anointed Tree of Life."
The Mind with and without the Anointing
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians
2:5
The same kind of
mind-not another-that was in Christ is offered you. Why does the Bible tell you
to take on the mind of Jesus? So you can have the peace that Adam and Eve had,
the fellowship of living in the Presence of the Lord. The anointing is His
Presence. Be separated out of self and into Him.
Paul wrote to one
Church: For who hath known the mind of
the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1
Corinthians 2:16
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm
yourselves likewise with the same mind. 1 Peter 4:1
Arm yourself with the
same mind Jesus had.
Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11
The mind of Jesus met
the devil head-on and defeated him.
The Son of God walked
the earth in human form; although He was very God, He took on a human mind, a
mind yielded to the Father, a mind with Divinity-the Holy Ghost-blended into
it.
When God made man and
woman, He gave them minds like His, only on a smaller scale. God wanted their
minds to think, but to think like Him. Nothing degraded or unholy was to enter
the mind, nothing to cause sadness. To have that kind of a mind, you must blend
with the Holy Spirit.
To blend means to
mix, unite. To unite with the Holy Spirit is to go well with Him, to live with
Him in harmony all the time the way Jesus did. As the Son of God, Jesus didn't
need the Holy Ghost baptism, and He didn't need to be baptized in water. However,
the man-part of Him needed all of it. Jesus was the anointed one in Heaven, but
when He took on the form of flesh, He had to be anointed by the Holy Ghost. Not
until He received the Holy Ghost did Jesus begin His ministry. Jesus, in the
synagogue, said, The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he
hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18, 19
When you blend your
mind in with the Holy Spirit and keep it blended, there will not be enough
devils from the pits of hell able to defeat you. The anointing of God that
brings the victory comes through the blood of Jesus. Yielding to the anointing
delivers you from the leeches of the mind. The devil can get to the mind, but
he cannot get to the spirit covered by the blood of Jesus. You are the only one
that can break the seal of blood on your spirit. Although the spirit is
protected, sealed with the blood of Jesus, the mind is not sealed with the
blood; it is protected with the anointing of God. The degree of protection you
have for the mind depends on how much anointing you seek and how much you use. God
has provided His anointing to give you His peace, joy and clearness of mind.
However, if you do not use His anointing, you will not have its benefits. The
greatness of God in the spirit will not work for you unless you blend with the
Holy Spirit so He can serve the mind what is in the spirit.
The eternal spirit from
God is the reservoir for the mind. There is no limit to the capacity of the
spirit. It can hold all the Godhead and all Heaven. If you, rather than the
Holy Spirit, serve the mind, you serve from self and not from the spirit. The
Holy Spirit comes to serve, to see that
the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given
unto us. Romans 5:5
The Holy Ghost sheds
abroad the love of God from our spirits into our minds. Not only does He keep
His love flowing, gushing into our spirit, He sheds it abroad. When the life of
God, when the Holy Spirit in your spirit, Heaven rejoices. But the spirit is
hampered and hindered if the mind does not have a good blend daily with the
Holy Spirit. It is a handicap to you, a handicap to God. This lack of blend
with the Holy Spirit ties the hands of the Lord. It is essential that the blend
of your mind and the mind of the Holy Spirit be unwavering.
To unite your mind
with the mind of the Holy Spirit is to harmonize, mix, and blend with the
living Word of God. Blending with the Holy Spirit produces a desired quality,
the mind quality that the Lord planned for us.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37
Remember this phrase:
with all thy mind. You must love God
with all thy mind, not just with your soul, not with just the spirit within. In
other words, have a love mind. You cannot carry grudges, anything else foreign
to the Holy Spirit and still have a love mind. Many Christians have failed,
saith the Lord, because they did not have a love mind. They have not left their
minds with God as they should have, not kept them in shape for the Holy Spirit
to use, and they have limped along spiritually crippled.
The mind of the Holy
Spirit and your mind are meant to blend in perfection, and this is not
difficult if you yield the mind to Him. This blend comes through the love,
grace, and blood of Jesus.
Have you ever studied
the mind? What the mind is made of, how it works? Since the mind is so
important, the Lord wants you to know all about it, to be able to think for
yourself. God is explaining Himself, letting you know His mysteries in this
last and final hour.
God had made man, no
doubt, millions of yeas ago, but it was not an intelligent man with a miniature
brain like His, not a man with a soul. The agnostics, the unbelievers use
prehistoric man to disclaim the creation of Adam and Eve about six thousand
years ago. We do not claim a type of man did not exist millions of years ago,
but the first intelligent man, the first man with a soul was Adam. The creation
of Adam as the first man does not conflict with the existence of prehistoric
man at all.
All hell has raged
against the Bible down through the centuries, but the Word of God will never be
destroyed; the devil can't steal from God's Book. However when the mind isn't
blended with the mind of the Spirit, the devil can steal from that mind. Many
Christians are weak, bound with oppression and depression because the devil has
robbed them of the truths of God.
The anointing of God
brings happiness; the anointing is the Presence of God. The Bible speaks much
about anointing. The anointing comes with the Holy Ghost; the anointing is the
oil of His Presence living and dwelling within you. You have His anointing when
you have the Holy Ghost.
To anoint means to
set apart. How wonderful to be set apart by God! The born again are sanctified,
set apart. Jesus prayed for His followers: They
are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy
truth: thy word is truth. John 17:16, 17
For the Father to
sanctify people through the truth, through the Word, is to set them apart. Set them into the anointing of your Presence
like you set Me, Jesus is saying.
You cannot have God's anointing and be part of
the world.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him 1 John 2:15
To anoint means to
pour upon with the idea of consecrating a person or thing to God, to set a
person aside for a special work or office. In the Old Testament days this was
done often. Then the anointing was outward, for the Holy Ghost baptism had not
yet been given. This outward anointing is a type of the anointing that dwells
on the inside after the Holy Ghost baptism is received.
To give you an idea
of what the anointing in the Old Testament, let's first go to Exodus. The Lord instructed
Moses to anoint those who would be Priests:
Anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them that they may
minister unto me in the priest's office. Exodus 28:41
The blood of animals
was used in some of the anointings.
And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for
atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made atonement for
it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. Exodus 29:36
Here blood is used to
anoint the altar, to sanctify it. Today the altars of our hearts are sanctified
with the blood of Jesus. We don't have to apply external means to be
sanctified; we only need His blood in our hearts. His blood is eternal, Divine.
After you are saved, it will never leave your spirit unless you willingly sin against
God.
What was used in the
Old Testament anointings depended on what the work was for.
Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon His head, and
anoint him. Exodus 29:7
The anointing oil of
the Spirit poured upon heads signified the anointing poured upon minds. Since
Pentecost, the mind is blended with the Holy Spirit if the person is anointed;
there should be no separation.
God instructed Moses:
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and
the ark of the testimony. Exodus 30:26
All had to be
anointed that was to be set apart. After man built the Ark of the Covenant, God
anointed it,
Took it over,
separated it from man and it became holy.
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that
they may minister unto me in the priest's office. Exodus 30:30
Today the blood and
the Holy Spirit consecrate you; you are consecrated through the Spirit of God.
God wants to set you apart for every work He wants done. Without being anointed
by the Holy Spirit to perform that work, you are not set apart to do it.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and
all that is therein, and shalt hollow it, and it shall be holy. Exodus 39:9
Oil was used in this
anointing. In the Holy Spirit are many, many anointings. It would take a
revelation from God to let us know how many kinds there are. As many anointings
as you need in a day are available to you. You have, for instance, anointings
to clear your mind. Why carry a mind like a junk pile when the anointing of God
can give you a clear mind? Treasure your mind; keep the treasures of God in it,
good things.
Take your troubles
and the troubles others may dump on you to Jesus. He said,
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give
you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
The Lord will hear
your cry.
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto
their cry. The righteous cry and the Lord heareth, and delivers them out of all
their troubles. Psalms 34:15, 17
If you are righteous,
He hears you every time you pray. Blood-bought, blood-washed Holy Ghost- filled
believers have a direct line to Heaven. But you cannot call Heaven any time
unless you have the mind of Jesus.
Jesus said,
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou
hearest me always. John 11:41, 42
Jesus talked to the
Father whenever He wanted. His mind was clear. When you have the Holy Ghost and
are yielded to Him, your mind is clear.
Some people have
sound minds in the world, but spiritually speaking, their minds are confused.
They can't seem to keep their minds on the Lord unless they find themselves in
an emergency situation. I once read about a man who boldly announced he didn't
believe in God. But indoors one day he found himself in an earthquake. Bricks
were flying everywhere. He ran out of the building, threw up his hands and
cried, Oh God, have mercy! People know there is a God, but often it is easier
to deny He exists than to acknowledge that they don't want to serve Him.
God was precise in
His instructions to Moses about the Old Testament anointings.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his
vessels, and sanctify the altar; and it shall be an altar most holy. Exodus
40:10
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify
him; that he may minister to me in the priest's office. Exodus 49:13
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his son's after him, to be
anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. Exodus 29:29
And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him,
to sanctify him. Leviticus 8:12
Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and
sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the
vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them. Numbers 7:1
It was a duty of
God's Prophets to anoint.
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head. 1 Samuel
10:1
Samuel anointed Saul
to be the first King of Israel.
A handsome man and humble. Saul began his reign with a decisive win over the
enemy. But in time he became puffed up by his position and success. Pride took
him over until he rejected God's way in favor of his own. Because he rejected
God, God rejected him as King over Israel.
And Samuel said, "When thou wast little in thine own sight, was
thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel,
and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel?" 1 Samuel 15:17
Samuel was grieved to
the core by Saul's failure.
And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul,
seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil,
and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a
king among his sons. 1 Samuel 16:1
Samuel went to the
house of Jesse, looked on Eliab and said,
Surely the Lord's anointed is before him. But the Lord said unto
Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I
have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the
outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:6, 7
The sons of Jesse
passed before Samuel. Are all your children here? Samuel asked. Jesse said one
more remained, the youngest who were keeping the sheep.
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit
down until he come hither. 1 Samuel 16:11
David came in,
Jesse's youngest son. The Lord told Samuel.
Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil,
and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the Lord came
upon David from that day forward. 1 Samuel 16:12, 13
David must of been
shocked when the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Ghost, came on him, for he wasn't
ready to do all God called him to do-and yet in a way he was. He had killed a
lion and a bear to protect his flock. He knew God. Those times Saul was
troubled by an evil spirit, David was brought in to play his harp to drive that
spirit off. The Lord poured songs through David, for he had a mind to praise
God, and he became Israel's
greatest King.
When David first
attempted to move the Ark of the Covenant to the City of David, a man was killed for touching it.
Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: for
the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah: and God
smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. 2 Samuel
6:6, 7
Good intentions cannot
take the place of God's anointings. Man was not to defile anything that was
anointed.
Those who were
anointed in the Old Testament days had great favor with God.
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 1 Chronicles 16:22
The Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven
with the saving strength of his right hand. Psalms 20:6
The Lord is there strength, and he is the saving strength of his
anointed. Psalms 28:8
A few people in the
Old Testament were called God's anointed, but all-Holy Ghost filled people
today are God's anointed if they are walking in His Divine will. His saving
strength is promised to all Holy-Ghost filled people whose minds are stayed on
the Lord. We don't have to fear; we don't have to worry when we are anointed by
God, when we have the Holy Ghost anointing.
Do you have a mind to
praise God or a mind to grumble? God never intended man or woman to complain,
to find fault, criticize and have fits of temper.
Now these be the last words of David, David the son of Jesse said, and
the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the
sweet psalmist of Israel, said, The spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his
word was in my tongue. 2 Samuel 23:1, 2
What talent the Lord
gave David, the sweet psalmist!
David's reign ended,
and Solomon was anointed to be King.
Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel:
and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save King Solomon. 1 Kings 1:34
Later, God told
Elijah to
Anoint Hazeal to be king over Syria:
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and
Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy
room. 1 Kings 19:15, 16
God wants all the
leaders of His people to be anointed.
Jesus sent out the
twelve two by two to minister to the people.
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were
sick, and healed them. Mark 6:13
The disciple anointed
with oil, signifying that the presence of God was doing the healing. But notice
the Apostles did not anoint with oil after they received the Holy Ghost after
they received the Holy Ghost on Pentecost. They had the Holy Ghost anointing
within, they had the gifts. It wasn't necessary for them any longer to use oil
to anoint. Anyone who doesn't have the gift of the working of miracles of the
gifts of healings should anoint with oil. I anointed with oil before I received
any of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, but from the time He gave me the gift
of healing, the Lord moved on me to not anoint with oil again.
Jesus said,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering sight to the blind, to set
at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:18, 19
God anointed Jesus
and He anoints us for what He wants us to do. Many have failed because they
didn't
Use the anointing. The
Spirit of the Lord will come upon them, but they don't live in a way that
enables them to carry the anointing in their minds, in their spirit. When you
don't carry the anointing in your mind, you grieve the Holy Spirit and tie His
hands. You cannot have your mind cluttered and expect God to use you. You must
put your mind in condition to use the anointing.
The anointing of the
Holy Spirit abides in you. The anointing is His Presence.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye
need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all
things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him. 1 John 2:27
John was trying to
get people away from false doctrine. It wasn't what man thought about the
anointing that counted, but what the Holy Ghost taught. The Holy Ghost is the
teacher. Always check what man teaches with the scripture to see if there is
agreement. If you have the Holy Ghost you have the teacher. He will let you
know whether or not you are being taught right. The Holy Spirit teaches only
the truth. Abide in Him the way the truth teaches: free from all sin.
Children of God love
righteousness and hate all wickedness. When you love righteousness with God's
love, you hold to that which belongs to God; you hold to God's hand at all
time.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hated wickedness: therefore God, thy
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psalms 45:7
The Holy Spirit keeps
His Presence flowing into your mind, that oil of gladness, as long as you yield
to Him.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Psalms 23:5
The cup the Psalmist
refers to is not the soul, but the mind. The spirit is bigger than a cup; there
is no limit to its capacity, but the mind holds a limited amount. Its a cup.
If you have the Holy
Ghost, certainly you have Him in your spirit, but you do not have Him in your
mind? The spirit is sealed with the blood of Jesus by the Holy Spirit; now the
mind is what you need to work on. The mind and spirit must work together in
order for you to be blessed. The Holy Spirit will not empty the mind cup for you;
you must do that so He can cleanse it and fill it with the things of the Lord. The
Holy Spirit fills the mind from the spirit. On the other hand, when the devil
is in a person, he uses the wickedness in the spirit to flow through the mind
to destroy.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service. And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of
God. Romans 12:1, 2
The spirit if you are
born again is holy, acceptable to God. He intends you to be transformed by the
Renewing of your
mind, different from the world. Renew your mind not in the world, but renew
your mind in the Lord and be transformed. The world doesn't have a renewal of
the mind. The devil has no life to renew with; he is death. He will destroy the
mind if he can. It takes life to renew the mind, and the Lord is the life
giver. In His Presence is life everlasting, but the mind cup must be cleaned up,
cleansed to accept that renewal. The mind with the wrong things in it does not
prove what is good, acceptable and perfect, what is the will of God. Many are
deceived because their minds have not been renewed.
To renew means to
make new, as if new again, to make fresh or strong, to bring back into good
condition. When you go into a restaurant you want everything to be clean,
sterilized. If you get a cup with lipstick on the rim, you want a new one. At
home you clean the cup you dink from, make it new as though it has never been used,
but what about your mind? Do you walk around with junk, clutter in your mind? The
leeches of the mind are terrible, worse than flies in your coffee.
To renew means to
give Spiritual strength to the mind, to make the mind come into greater accord
with His Spirit. You use drinking cups over and over. If you never washed them,
they would be hotbeds of germs. As daily you wash your drinking cups, daily see
that the mind cup is washed also. It isn't enough, I say again, to have the
spirit pure and clean through the blood of Jesus; the mind must be clean,
renewed daily.
Never go to bed with
a dirty mind cup. If you go to bed with things on your mind that are not right,
the Holy Spirit cannot work with you while you sleep. How can the Holy Spirit
fill your mind from your spirit when the mind is filled with junk? Some people
get out of bed in the morning, troubled, beaten down. They have not gone to bed
with the right kind of mind so that the Holy Spirit could bring from the spirit
the greatness of God and fill the mind cup.
Do you wake up every
morning to the Holy Spirit or self? You are not fit to meet the world until you
are dressed with the Holy Spirit, until the mind is filled with the Holy
Spirit. The wrong thoughts will come to your mind, but the Holy Spirit can
purge out those thoughts with the living water flowing from your spirit. You
don't need to keep battling in your mind. You may ask the Lord to bless you,
but if He looks into your mind and sees hate, arrogance, rebellion,
stubbornness, spite, clamor or anyone of these things, He finds no room to hold
blessings. The mind is to full of the wrong things.
The Holy Spirit can
only put into the mind that which can bless, help and operate through you. His
thoughts must be in your mind. That's the reason you dare not hold a grudge
against anyone or anything. A destructive thought may come to you, but you
don't have to embrace it in your spirit. If you love it, dwell on it, want it,
it is yours. However, when you don't claim it, it has no power over you. Bad
thoughts, unclean thoughts cling like leeches. Lingering in your mind, they
leech on to it, add more leeches and grow stronger and stronger. Empty your
mind: start each day with a clean cup, and you will get along much better.
Harness the mind by
yielding to the Holy Spirit, and He will bring it to the place it needs to be,
strengthen it so that you can keep your mind on the things of God, so you can
hold them. The waters of Niagara are harnessed
to produce great power. The mind will also have great powers to perform when it
is harnessed with the living waters, the anointing, and the greatness of
Heaven. When the nine fruit of the Holy Spirit are produced in the spirit, the
Holy Spirit has much with which to fill the cup with.
To renew means to
begin again. Each new day, your beginning again. The Lord has given you a new
day. By keeping the old things in your mind, you've ruined that new day, taken
away the strength God has given you. You will not live a bit better you'll have
any more happiness than you had yesterday. The same old things in that cup that
have caused you to be weak have not left. You are still disgruntled, discontented,
arrogant, and rebellious.
Your outlook depends
on what you have in your cup. You wonder why people do the things they do. It's
because of what is in the cup. Have you ever seen someone throw a fit who you
never thought would behave that way? Anger was in the cup.
Like little birds in
the nest that open their beaks every time they hear a noise, some minds are
open to every noise of the enemy. Nestlings don't look what mama bird is going
to drop into their mouths, and many people don't look at what the devil is
dropping into their minds, either. Wait until you hear the truth before you
accept what is being said.
Don't reach for the
things of the world, but be submissive to the things of God, transformed by the
renewing of your mind. The mind must be separated from the world with God's
love, separated into His righteousness, into His truth. Then the anointing will
work. Without the love of God you are not separated from the world, from that
which is wrong in the eyes of God.
The Lord gave you
power in your spirit for your mind to be transformed. The Holy Spirit is the
agent, remember, He's the one what is in your spirit, but you must yield to Him
so He can. Yield your mind to the Holy Spirit; be transformed into God's
happiness, joy unspeakable and be full of glory. You may understand sadness
unspeakable, but God wants you to understand joy unspeakable, joy so great that
words can't describe it.
If you are born new,
you have everlasting life in your spirit, the joy and peace of God. Like rivers
of living water, that joy and peace can come gushing through the mind. Hear
what the Spirit is saying. With the wrong thing in the mind cup, you will not
hear His precious directions. You have control over your mind, over what you
want to feed it.
To be so set apart
with the anointing of God is indeed wonderful. Be set apart so God can
transform you into what He needs for the day, for that special person He wants
you to bring to Him. Take anointings to help people, and remember that the same
anointing won't work for everything. Different people require different
anointing. The Lord flows to the mind what He wants you to tell the one you are
talking to. The Lord gives us this greatness, and He serves it in different
ways, but if the mind is not renewed, transformed, that flow is blocked.
The Early Church
found that man didn't live by bread alone. They dined on the living Word.
It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every Word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4
By each Word of life
from the lips of God, life flowed to the Early Church; and today it will flow
to the Bride, saith the Lord, in this her last hour. Jesus conquered death,
hell and the grave for us. He walked away from the battleground on earth with this
man and woman cradled in His arms of love.
Bringing protection
for spirit, mind and body, the Holy Ghost came on the Day of Pentecost; He came
to stay, to teach, to sing, to help God's people make melody in their hearts. Today
the Holy Spirit anoints us to praise the Lord and rejoice in Him. When praise
is a chore, you don't have the anointing.
Since the Holy Spirit
flows the things of God from the Spirit into the mind, you can have the life of
Jesus flowing through your mind daily. If your mind is not right, you need to
look into the spirit and make sure the spirit is all right. If the spirit is
sealed with the blood, you are not letting the Holy Spirit flow what is in the
spirit into the mind.
The Holy Ghost will
not use stale water, only the water of life. Jesus said,
Whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14
The Lord flows that
living water into your mind to give you peace, joy as long as your mind is
clean. Don't stockpile the wrong things in your mind. Keep only the good, get
rid of the bad. If you have the wrong things in your mind, the devil has hold
of you. The devil is the spirit of wrong, and his leeches in your mind can
control it again, and again, bring in more bad thoughts that bring in more
leeches.
Remember, the spirit
is sealed with the blood: the mind is not. The mind is preserved with the holy
anointing. With the anointing flowing, your mind is sweet, kind, tender, and
gentle. A great warmth is there.
I am so grateful that
the Lord willed us to have the same kind of mind that Jesus had. He put it all
within our reach. Jesus showed us what it means to have a wonderful, clear mind
of love in the face of great strife and persecution. In Gethsemane
He knew that those who came to arrest Him hated Him, but look at the love He
displayed. Even in that time of great turmoil He reached down with love to heal
the ear of a man full of hate for Him. It will take an eternity to learn all we

Why be bound with
anything when the anointing breaks the yokes?
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken
away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall
be destroyed because of the anointing. Isaiah 10:27
Leeches of the mind
can't stay if you have the anointing of the mind. The reason minds are leeched
saith the Lord, is that those minds don't have the anointing. When you don't
have the anointing in your mind working on a regular basis, there will be
leeches. Many are leeched because they lack the anointing of the mind. They
can't think the way God wants them to think all the time. It's part time
thinking. Depression and oppression move in and they fail God.
If you have any
yokes, any bondages, the anointing can destroy them. Some people are so bound
in their souls that they cannot pray; they have no joy, no peace. Since they
don't have the peace of God nor carry the love of God, they can't share it with
others. Many Christians are unhappy in marriage because they are bound. It
isn't necessary, it's uncalled for and there is no excuse for it, saith the
Lord.
How are minds
leeched? Through a lack of the anointing. You must keep the anointing working
all the time to stay free of the leeches. If your mind is leeched, take this
message of truth and clean the cup; let the Holy Spirit flow the greatness of
God-the anointing-from the spirit into the mind.
When you do that, the
leeches will have to drop off, saith the Lord. They cannot remain unless they
have something of the devil to hold on to; something of disobedience, something
against God.
Stubbornness,
ill-will towards others, gossip, abusiveness will give leeches a hold. You will
never get rid of them, saith the Lord, when they can find something to feed on.
Egotism, selfishness are leech fodder. Leeches feed on the flesh, on
destructive temper, on those who refuse to use the fruit of self-control, one
of the nine fruit of the Spirit produced in the Spirit. The spirit of
arrogance, of being opinionated, of thinking only your way is right are all
toeholds for leeches. Idle words, a mind that is not sober, one that is
intoxicated on the world block the flow of the Holy Spirit.
You can pray until
your tongue falls out and never get away from the leeches if you refuse to let
go of destructive thoughts. Obedience destroys the contamination of
disobedience. Truth destroys the false. The fruit of self-control destroys the
spirit of egotism and self.
If you don't have a
leeched mind, your mind can be daily filled with the Holy Spirit, with the
greatness of the Lord. He is there for that purpose. He is to be your teacher,
your comforter.
The Holy Spirit will
give you the things to think on:
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if
there be any virtue, and if these be any praise, think on these
things(Philippians 4:8)
Feast on these
thoughts and the leeches cannot stay. The anointing will break all bondages,
all fetters, and all yokes. The anointing destroys the power of the devil.
In Enoch, God found a
man so similar to the first Adam before the fall that God decided He would not
leave him on earth for the devil to keep fighting. The Lord enjoyed Enoch so
much He took him home before death had a chance to snuff out his life.
One day soon the Lord
will look down, see the Bridle company as pure as Adam and Eve before the fall,
and He will send Jesus to take them all home, to take them out of this old
world. They won't have to live outside of earth's Eden
any longer; they will have an Heavenly Eden
to delight in as the endless ages roll.
The living waters are
flowing in the Bride as she walks on the earth, The Holy Ghost has come to
tabernacle in houses of clay, to live inside us to make people the god/man, the
god/woman He wants to see, people holy and consecrated to the Lord.
Let peace and joy
overflow your mind, Heaven's gladness. Think about your cup. Search your mind;
find why you don't function with the Holy Spirit the way you could. Do you
wonder why the greatness of God doesn't happen in your life? This is the
reason, saith the Lord: The mind cup is not ready. But the Lord is preparing
you to bring you into the place He brought me. He brought me into this place
without explaining it to me. I took what He gave me; I took it with fastings,
prayers and looking to Him. I emptied my cup that night I was born again, kept
it empty so He could fill it up. I learned that Jesus had more to serve than
the world would give. Daily I could declare that my cup runneth over. Why would
Christians resign themselves to live in depression?
